Arabia is the land of unparalleled charm and beauty, with its trackless deserts of sand dunes in the dazzling rays of the tropical sun. Its starry sky has excited the imagination ofpoets and travellers. It was in this land that the (Where is Makkah Rasoolullah ( 2inasi00"¥8 ) was born, in the city of Makkah | Mukarraman Mukarramah, which is about fifty miles from the Red Sea. 2. The Arabs possessed a remarkable memory and were an eloquent people. Their eloquence and memory found expression in their poetry. Every year a fair was held for poetical competitions at Ukaz. It is narrated that Hammad said to Caliph Walid bin Yazid: “I can recite to you, for each letter of the alphabet, one hundred long poems, without taking into account short pieces, and all of that was composed exclusively by poets before the promulgation of Islam." It is no small wonder that Allah Almighty chose the Arabic language for His final hat type of competition was dispensation and the preservation of His Word. 3. In the fifth and sixth centuries, mankind stood on the verge of chaos. It seemed that the civilization which had taken four thousand years to grow had started crumbling. At this point in time, Allah Almighty raised a Rasool among themselves to lft the humanity from ignorance into the light of faith. 4. When Hazrat Muhammad (xo ie) was thirty-eight years of age, he (2E33.#3 42) spent most of his time in solitude and meditation. In the cave of Hira, he (isis ) used to retire with food and water and spend days and weeks in remembrance of Allah Almighty. overflowing with profound compassion for humanity, He ( 22acsuieés ) hada pressing urge to eradicate wrong beliefs, social evils, cruelty and injustice. The ‘ise fe) was to be bestowed with Nabuwat. One day, when he Spa*/¢ ) was in the cave of Hira, Hazrat Jibril (Gabriel) (2) came and conveyed to him ( 22-5:50e"7s) the following message of Allah Almighty: is) ee auc While-reading appropriate questions may be conducted, Guide the students to consult an atlas tolocate the Muslim world. Unit 1: The Saviour of Mankind @® HONE 6 BG Sr pais SOS SUSD| pebstyciagh Read in the name of thy Lord Who created; created man from a clot (of congealed blood): Read and thy Lord is most Bountiful, Who taught (the use of) the pen, taught man that which he knew not. (Quran, 96:1-5) 6. The revelation of the divine message which continued for the next twenty- three years had begun, and the Rasoolullah (223%.e'n) had arisen to proclaim the oneness of Allah (Tauheed) and the unity of mankind. His ( igasee\s ) mission was to destroy the nexus of superstition, ignorance, and disbelief, and set up a noble conception of life and lead mankind to the light of faith and divine bliss 7. Since this belief was threatening their dominance in the society, the pagan Arabs started to mount pressure on the Rasoolullah (28233:e44s ) and his followers. They wanted them to renounce their cause and take to idol- worshipping. On one occasion, they sent a delegation to the Rasoolullah’s Rasoolullah (22:e4fs ) from preaching Allah Almighty's message, or face their enmity. Finding himself in a dilemma, he sent for his nephew, and (Eze responded with these memorable words: “My dear uncle, if they put the sun in my right hand and the moo! in my left, even then | shall not abandon the proclamation of the Oneness of Allah (Tauheed). | shall set up the true faith upon the earth or perish in the attempt” 8. The Rasoolullah’s (24e\4e ) uncle was so impressed with his nephew's firm determination that he replied: “Son of my brother, go thy way; none will dare touch thee. | shall never forsake thee.” 9. And the Rasoolullah (22234244) did go the way Allah Almighty had chosen for him. Imbued with divine guidance and firm resolve, the Rasoolullah (2x55) encountered all the challenges with grace and dignity. Inno time Acct F he ( Zee4aes ) elevated man to the highest possible level in both spiritual @) Unit 1: The Saviour of Mankind and worldly domains. He (222.2445) was also a driving force behind the Arab conquests, which have created an everlasting impression on human history. No wonder, he (ZS4.e4AvaiiU) is universally acknowledged as the most influential figure in history. In the words of Michael Hart, a great historian: “Muhammad (Seti ), however, was responsible for both the theology of Islam and its main ethical and moral principles. In addition, he (825hue4s) played a key role in proselytizing the new faith, and in establishing the religious practices... In fact as the driving force behind the Arab conquests, he (22¢54se4e) may well rank as the mostinfluential political leader of all time .... The Arab conquests of the seventh century have continued to play an important role in the human history, down to the present day” 10.Such a thorough transformation of man and society owes to the Rasoolullah’s (2223594s ) deep faith in Allah Almighty to his (RE loveforhumanity, and to the nobility of his {ueii,0*149 character, Indeed, his ( E&Su 4s) life is a perfect model to follow.
